IBM manufacture these I think - A few of the staff at the Bank Of Ireland in
Dublin Airport have them, and use them to do foreign exchange for customers
in the actual airport lounges - They have a 2.5" Hard drive on their belt
which holds the info and what business they have done for the day, and they
keep a bag around their shoulder with various amounts of foreign cash in it.
These ones aren't radio linked, so a multi core cable runs down your back to
the HD and processor on the belt. They are voice controlled, so no keyboard
either. A sure fire hit for a mugging I would have thought, but apparently
it works well and they have had no problems (yet!).
